NOltBERT DURAND, OF RANGE, wIsooNsIN, ASSIGNOR or ONE-FOURTH TO JOE CARPENTER AND ONE-FOURTH TO EARNEST P. EKEGREN, or RANGE, WISCONSIN.
BREAST-STRAP SLIDE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 29, 1907'.
Application filed November 30, 1906- Serial No. 345.698.
' To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, NORBERT DURAND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Range, in the county of Polk and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Breast-Strap Slide, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in breast strap slides.
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of breast strap slides, and to provide a simple and efiicient device of great strength and durability adapted to be cheaply manufactured, and capable of preventing too free a movement of the neck yoke connections on the breast strap, and thereby reduce to a minimum the jerking of the tongue or pole upon the horses, and at the same time enable a team to be guided and driven with greater ease.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended; it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawing:Figure 1 is a perspective view of a breast strap slide, constructed in accordance with this invention and shown applied to a breast strap and a neck yoke. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation partly in section of the breast strap slide. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation of another form of the invention, which form is adapted to take the place of the twin neck yoke.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing.
1 designates a breast strap slide, composed of a front wall 2, a curved top wall 3, rearwardly extending arms or portions 4 and upwardly extending arms or portions 5, which are arranged at the back of the slide and which connect the rear ends of the arms or portions 4 with the curved top 3. The curved top 3 presents a lower convex face 6 to the breast strap 7, and it extends from one side of the device to the other. The front wall 2 is imperforate, and the side arms or portions 4, which extend rearwardly from the front wall, are located at the bottom of the slide at opposite sides thereof. The rear arms or portions 5'are formed integral with the top and with the rear ends of the arms or portions 4. The side arms or portions 4 are spaced from the curved top 3, and the rear arms or portions 5 are spaced from the front wall 2 to provide side openings 8, through which the breast strap passes, and a recess-or opening 9 is formed at the back of the slide.
pending neck yoke ring-receiving member, which in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, is in the form of a snap hook 10, and the latter is adapted toengage the ring 11 of a neck yoke 12, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawing. The shank and the bill of the hook 10 are rounded, as shown, and the neck yoke ring 11 is confined in the hook by a pivoted tongue 13, which is in the form of a casing and which houses a coiled spring 14. The tongue 13 is composed of two sides and a connecting portion 15; the sides, which fit against the opposite faces of the shank portion of the hook 10, are extended at their upper ends beyond the connecting portion 15 to provide a pair of ears 16, and the latter are perforated for the reception of a pivot 17 which secures the tongue to the front wall of the slide. One of the sides of the pivotal tongue has its inner longitudinal edge bent outward to form a projecting lip or flange 19, which enables the pivoted member to be readily operated to engage the hook with and disengage it from the neck yoke ring. The coiled spring, which is arranged within the pivoted member, is interposed between the outer wall or portion 15, and the shank of the hook, which is provided with a socket 20 to receive the inner end of the spring. The spring holds the lower end of the outer wall or portion 15 normally against the bill of the hook, which is provided at its inner edge with a recess 10 to receive the tongue. The pivoted spring actuated tongue confines the neck yoke ring 11 within the hook and effectually prevents the ring from becoming accidentally disconnected from the hook. v
In Fig. 4 of the drawing the front wall of the slide is provided with a depending loop 21 for connection with a neck yoke, having the usual semi-circular hook or ring at its ends for detachably engaging the loop 21. By this arrangementthe usual twin yoke is dispensed with, the slide and loop taking the place of the said yoke.
The side arms or portions 4 are connected at their rear ends by a bolt 22, which secures the front end of a martingale 23 to the breast slide. The side arms or portions 4 are provided with perforations to receive the bolt 22, and a sleeve 24 is preferably arranged on the bolt between the sides of the slide to prevent wear on the martingale. The front end of the martingale is passed around the sleeve and is secured by a rivet 25 to form a front loop 26.
The breast strap slide, which possesses great strength and durability, is adapted to hold the neck yoke and the tongue or pole steady, and it reduces the jerking of the horses to a minimum.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A breast strap slide comprising a curved top wall pre senting an inner convex face to the breast strap, a front wall or plate extending downwardly from the front edge of formed integral with one another, a rear pin connecting the curved top wall and provided with a depending neck the contiguous terminals of the said arms and arranged to yolie engaging portion arranged in the same longitudinal hold a martingale in close connection with the breast strap. plane as the front plate or wall, lower arms extending rear- In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my own, I
